Urban light pollution is a danger for marine ecosystems

Plymouth Marine Laboratory 2023-01-06 | Coastal megacities could be illuminating the marine environment up to 6x more than the moon - but are often not considered when reviewing stressors on coastal ecosystems.

We have been working with the University of Plymouth and the University of Strathclyde to explore how artificial light at night (ALAN) is affecting coastal zones and the organisms that live there, find out more: theconversation.com/urban-light-pollution-is-a-danger-for-marine-ecosystems-new-research-196525

We have entered a biodiversity extinction crisis

Plymouth Marine Laboratory 2022-12-19 | Our Director of Science Professor Steve Widdicombe tells us why he is in Canada for the #COP15 Convention on Biological Diversity - to bring scientific evidence to a policy decision-making level, to underpin effective biodiversity policy.

“We are in danger of going past the point where marine ecosystems do not have enough biodiversity to provide us with the goods and services we need. But, beyond that, we have a moral obligation to look after the nature and the species that we share this planet with.”

Seasons Greetings, from us all at PML

Plymouth Marine Laboratory 2022-12-14 | Season’s Greetings from us all at Plymouth Marine Laboratory and PML Applications Ltd.

This Christmas e-card animation was kindly created by Dr James Clark from our Marine Systems Modelling Group. The ‘snowflakes’ you see, that arrange themselves to create our acronym PML, are actually an image taken of a ‘mystery sea creature’ we found a few years ago within sediment samples, which were collected during an experiment looking into the response of seabed organisms to ocean de-oxygenation. We established that the creature was a ‘naked foraminifera’ that we believe has only ever been recorded in Scotland and Norway. Foraminifera are single-cell organisms, this particular one was caught in a benthic sample in the waters off the Plymouth Sound by PML scientists.

The animation was made using CMEMS Global Ocean Physics Reanalysis surface ocean velocity fields. “Snowflake” trajectories were computed using a particle tracking software package called PyLag, which has been developed by Dr Clark.

PML PROPOSAL: A tool to facilitate UK offshore renewable energy in an environmentally friendly way

Plymouth Marine Laboratory 2022-10-04 | Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) is developing a tool to enable stakeholders in the offshore renewable energy sector to understand the effects of planned offshore renewable energy installations on marine habitats, biodiversity and the benefits they provide to people.

The tool will support decision-making on where to site renewable energy installations and other marine uses, where to prioritize conservation or restoration, and which environmental strategies will be effective.

This tool addresses an urgent need. The UK has set legally binding targets to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and increase the use of renewable energy. Offshore wind capacity in UK waters is expected to grow five-fold by 2030, and potentially ten-fold by 2050.

While the rapid expansion of offshore renewables is vital for addressing climate change, it also has the potential to cause considerable damage to marine habitats that support precious biodiversity and store large volumes of carbon. Trade-offs and synergies between marine uses urgently need to be weighed up to optimise outcomes for climate and biodiversity.

Why the Ocean Matters (produced for COP26)

Plymouth Marine Laboratory 2021-10-29 | 'Why the Ocean Matters' - a Plymouth Marine Laboratory film.

Earth’s ocean plays a key role in regulating climate whilst its ecosystems simultaneously having to deal with climate change, increasing human exploitation, coastal urbanisation and huge pressures from marine litter and pollution. As humans strive to manage these multiple threats it is vital to understand the interplay between the climate, the ocean and its ecosystems and resources to support sustainable ocean management.

This short film how at Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) we provide timely and relevant scientific research and advice for a sustainable ocean future through an integrated system of observations, experimentation and modelling. We cover marine life and processes at varying scales, from local to global, molecules to space, the poles to the tropics and lakes to oceanic environments.

An important focus for PML is on understanding and explaining the impacts of climate change to inform policy decisions needed to adapt and mitigate for climate change in addition to developing technologies and novel applications in support of addressing the climate crises, including blue carbon, offshore renewable energy, carbon capture and storage, and carbon dioxide removal.

To help bring evidence of the latest ocean climate science to key stakeholders, PML has attended every United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference of Parties (COP) since 2009, participating in, organizing and facilitating numerous ocean events. Our scientists have key roles in writing UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment reports which inform COP negotiations, including the recent: https://www.ipcc.ch/report/sixth-assessment-report-working-group-i/. We also develop briefing papers, such as: ‘Why the ocean matters in climate negotiations’: gla.ac.uk/media/Media_795093_smxx.pdf.

PML is internationally renowned as a crucial player in highlighting the importance of the relationship between the ocean, climate, nature and society. To find out more about PML’s activities at OCP26 please visit: www.pml.ac.uk/COP26 and/or follow us on twitter @PlymouthMarine.

Mussel Power: PML and Waitrose (Plan Plastic Project)

Plymouth Marine Laboratory 2021-07-05 | In February 2019, Waitrose & Partners used money from the sale of 5p carrier bags to launch Plan Plastic: The Million Pound Challenge. PML was delighted to be selected as one of the project partners supported by the £1 million grant fund (managed by environmental charity Hubbub) aimed at reducing plastic pollution in the UK.

The fund supports diverse and innovative projects, which rethink how we use and dispose of plastic, tackle plastic pollution, create tangible impact and leave a lasting legacy. PML successfully explored the use of mussels to filter out and dispose of microplastics in river estuaries (without any harm to the creatures themselves) and work is underway to look at how this nature-based solution can be rolled out at scale.

Ocean Acidification and other Climate-Ocean Impacts - Virtual Ocean Dialogues

Plymouth Marine Laboratory 2020-06-30 | The first ever completely virtual global conference for ocean action, the Virtual Ocean Dialogues, took part (1-5 June) with Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) a co-host of the ‘Deep Dive’ session on Ocean Acidification and Climate- Ocean Impacts. The Dialogues, organized by the World Economic Forum and Friends of Ocean Action, fostered inclusive, constructive and practical exchanges to maintain momentum on the ocean action agenda. The overall event had over 1,300 participants from more than 90 different countries attending with livestreamed sessions reaching over 780,000 views across all platforms.

The Dialogues contributed to maintaining momentum for action for a healthy ocean. They have also drawn global attention to the ocean as a solution and how it should comprise an integral part of both the response to and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ocean acidification and other climate-related ocean stressors have widespread impacts on marine ecosystems which impact human wellbeing; the ‘Deep Dive’ session explored innovative and inclusive actions that are helping local communities, industry partners and governments find solutions—including policy actions—for addressing and adapting to impacts of ocean acidification. PML partnered with the International Alliance to Combat Ocean Acidification in collaboration with UN Peace Boat, and DEFRA.
